1. ““Thus it will be seen that in order to confer jurisdiction in the district courts, the employer must have either failed or refused to make compensation payments to the injured workman as provided in the Act before he is entitled to file a claim. * * * ””

2. “§ 59-10-13, N.M.S.A. 1953. The compensation herein provided shall be paid by the employer to any injured workman entitled thereto in semimonthly instalments as nearly equal as possible excepting the first instalment which shall be paid not later than thirty-one (31) days after the date of such injury. * * * ” § 59-10-18.

He did not request additional medical treatment from his employer nor did he apply to the district court for an order requiring the employer to furnish such additional services as required by Section 57-919 of 1941 Compilation [§ 59-10-19, N.M.S.A. 1953], Consequently, it is apparent that the statute had not been complied with. This is a special proceeding and additional medical services are to be paid by the employer and his insurer only under the terms of the statute. If the terms of the statute relating to such payments have not been met, then, of course, the court cannot order the payment therefor.””
